They are easy and melt in your mouth and you can change the ingredients to what you have on hand. They are actually meringues.
2 egg whites (room temp is best)
2/3 cup of sugar
1 cup chocolate bits
1 cup nuts, broken
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar spoonful by spoonful and beat until stiff.
Add chocolate bits and nuts.
Have oven heated to 350°F. Put cookies on foil lined cookie sheets, NOT GREASED.
Put cookies in oven and turn the oven off. Leave overnight or at least 5 hours during the day.
Variations:
- I use mini chocolate bits and less pecans. I also make them small (teaspoon size), because they are like candy.
- use coconut instead of nuts
- or rice crispies instead of nuts
- I want to try them with a bit of cocoa and crushed candy canes.
- how about butterscotch
- or peanut butter bits
Enjoy!
